The Basics
- The FIU men's basketball team placed three players in double figures, led by Devon Andrews (Lorain, Ohio) and his 25 points, but it was the Panthers' defense that was on full display on Thursday night, as FIU got back on the winning track with a crucial 86-65 Conference USA win over Rice at the Ocean Bank Convocation Center. The win, which snapped the Panthers' short two-game losing streak, improves FIU to 15-11 overall and 6-7 in C-USA, while the Owls drop to 10-16 overall and 5-8 in league play.
